I have a broken carbon 29er rim that I want to replace. Who supplies good rims locally. Need to geta 32 hole rim - min internal width 19mm (or bigger) Hopefully 24 mm Rim height so i can use the spokes......

 

Any ideas where i can find one hubland?

South industries only do an enduro rim. It's a bit wide.

I have a feeling they have an XC 29 rim fresh off the press.....

 

And is there actually a thing as 'too wide'? If it is light and wide it is a chicken dinner.....

South Industries do a 29 XC rim.The Enduro rim is a 27.5".

 

As an added bonus, their rims are handmade here in SA. The only handmade carbon rims in SA. Nothing like supporting local!

 

Give them a call or email and have a chat. Awesome bunch of guys and they can even do custom decals for you to match your frame or kit:

I would go with south.

Local is lekker.

Wider is not more enduro,

Wider will have less tire roll, more traction and yes I hate that I sound like a techy sales person.
